Playing a video on a 4400 DMP using HTML and video stored on webserver?

             I've created a PHP script to allow our users to mange their own content make their own playlists without them having to use our DMM. The script gets inputs from them for things like images and URL's and how long it will display those items. It then writes another PHP file which I set as the lone playlist item in the DMM. This way they can make changes at will with no chance of breaking anything in the DMM. The script basically just rotates their images and scripts by changing the inner.html of the body on the page. I have URL's and images working fine. I need to get videos working in the same manner. This means I need to be able to point to an HTML file on our webserver that plays a video that is also stored on that webserver. I thought I'd found a solution but there's one problem I can't get around. There are some references to playing through a javascript library tivella.js . The problem is that every reference I find seems to that script shows the DMP accessing it internally <src="tivella/tvzilla/js/tivella.js">  Is there a way for an external HTML file to reference this js file?  Is there a way to copy that JS file to my web server?  Are there any other options to play a video through HTML vs. as a playlist item on the DMM? 
Dave

Dave,
Not sure if the larger subset audience over here have tried what you are trying to configure but have looked at
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-14752, This document has a Java script/HTML code that allows you to play content stored locally on the DMP storage. May be you can utilize the code there and reference the local video URL with your HTTP URL.
Also the tivella is a Web browser in the DMP it will render the Web content fine but you may want to utilize the media player function for displaying the video - just a thought.
Thanks,
Sagar Dhanrale

  • How do I play my iTunes music on my iPad using WiFi and iTunes match (my music is stored in the cloud).

    How do i play my iTunes music on my iPad using WiFi and iTunes match? I don't want to download my music to my iPad.

    But that's what I don't want to do. I think I must have misunderstood what was possible with iTunes Match and the cloud. I had thought I would be able to play my music directly from the cloud using WiFi. I didn't think I would have to download it from the cloud to play it on my iPad. I store it in the cloud because I don't have enough storage space on my iPad -- I can't download all my music because I run out of storage space. If iTunes Match doesn't allow you to play the music FROM THE CLOUD, but instead only allows you to DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE CLOUD TO YOUR IPAD TO PLAY, then it's not serving the purpose I thought it would. What's the point of storing it in the cloud if you have to download it to play it?
    The only way I could imagine it working for me is if it possible to only download particular albums or songs. Or does your whole library have to be downloaded? 

  • Newby Question: Can AIR app have BOTH use HTML and Flex?

    I need to make a desktop app using HTML and JavaScript but I want 99% of the logic to be written in Flex.  Is that possible?
    Also, do I need to buy Flash in order to compile Flex?  Or does AIR SDK include a compiler?
    Pete

    Yes, it is possible.  For Air apps, Flex has an html control that is basically a self-contained webkit browser you can drop into your application.  You can insert html either by loading an html string, or pointing the browser to a particular location on your filesystem or on the internet.  As far as javascript, it can either be part of the site you load into the browser, or you can "cross-script" javascript in action script.  Cross-scripting may be better in certain instances, because then you can use controls written in flex to access or manipulate the html content.  To cross-script, you do something like this: var dom:Object = html.window.document, where "html" is the id of your html control.  Then, you can access javascript methods and properties through the dom object, like this: var p1:Object = dom.getElementById("p1").  See the webkit docs for available javascript methods and properties.
    No, you don't need to buy Flash.  The Flex SDK has a compiler.  You still might want to get Flex Builder (or the upcoming Flash Builder, which is the same as Flex Builder, but very different than Flash--not confusing at all...).  Or I think there are some third party IDEs for Flex, one or more of  which might be free, but I'm not sure.  I imagine it would be pretty hard for someone just learning flex and air to start building apps without Flex Builder.  Also, I think the beta of Flash Builder is still available for free, if you want to try it out.

  • How do I play QuickTime videos stored in iTunes 11?

    I have several older videos stored in my iTunes, which is now version 11.1.4. When I try to play them, I get an error message that says QuickTime is no longer supported by this version of iTunes. The only Apple Support article I've found on this issue tells me to download QuickTime, but when I follow the link, Apple tells me that I have the current version of QuickTime in my OS (10.7.5). Seems like a feedback loop, and I'm frustrated. Anyone got a solution?

    But after I updated to 6.1.2. all the videos in quicktime won't even play-the PLAY sign appears crossed with a stop line already from the beginning...seems like I can't suddenly play any videos in quicktime,what is the problem?

    No, you can't. There are a couple of hard drives out there that will allow you to stream to your iPad over WiFi. Otherwise, you'll need, as the previous poster explained, sync through iTunes.

  • How to use HTML and Java Script files in Portal

    Hi,
    I am trying to access a web application using iViews. My application contains JSP,HTML,Servlets,JS(java script), image files. I am using JSPDynPro to access the JSP files and I am putting servlets in the private/lib folder of the PORTAL-INF dir of Portal project. Now my problem is almost all the JSP files uses the HTML files, JS files and image files. Where can put these files in the portal project dir structure to give access to the JSP files when i am creating a iView for the JSPDynPro componenets in the irj.
    thanks,
    Ashok

    Hi,
    JSPDynpage is the controller, one JSPDynpage can call more than one jsp file according to the coding. Through the JSPDynpage's setJspName() function only you can display a jsp page.
    EX:
    public void doProcessBeforeOutput() throws PageException {
      this.setJspName("logon.jsp");
    if you put the JSPDynpage in the src.core then the JSPDynpage can be accessed only by this application.
    if you put the JSPDynpage in the src.api then other applications can access this component.
    You can put the jsp pages in the pagelet folder.

  • HP Prime crashes while using CAS and loses stored variables

    As the title suggests I'm experiencing some problems while using CAS whit my new Prime (it arrived 3 days ago). While doing operations like scrolling up the screen and copying/pasting things, or simply defining new variables it happens that the prime crashes (sometimes it also restart itself) and loses all the variables I've stored.
    The prime is running the latest FW (6030).  I've also noticed that after the firmware upgrade the DataStreamer icon in the app library has became grey and an exclamation mark appears when I try to start it.
    Any help or suggestion would be great.
    Thank you in advnce,
    M1cha3l

    I have only a little experience with Primes RPN.
    It does seem that for user variable, you do need to first create them before storing anything to them.  a ENTER OK creates user variable a and puts a 0 on stack 1:
    123 ENTER, 'a' ENTER,  Shift Sto>  or 123_'a'_Shift Sto> ( _ = space key) store 123 in a and put 123 on stack 1:
    Other more expert users may offer better advice.

  • Playing a video file retrieved from database using JMF

    Hello!
    I am developing a multimedia application that has to store videos, music, pictures in a database. I did a little searching and found that JMF is a very good solution in playing video/music using Java. I found some examples to play the video/music stored on the hard drive (as separate files), but i have to be able to take the video/music from the database, and feed it to the JMF player. Has anyone some suggestions about how this could be done?
    Thanks in advance!
    Edited by: radu.miron on May 8, 2008 9:03 AM

    Well, i think i didn't make myself clear enough :). i know how to retreive the data from the database. The thing is this: let's suppose i have a 700 MB movie stored in the database. One option to play that movie would be to retrieve it from the DB, create a file somewhere on the disk, and put the data retrieved from the database in that file. But this involves that the disk will be overflooded when let's say 100 people watch 100 different movies. Another option (as i see it) would be to gradually take parts of the movie from the database (first 50 MB, then another 50 MB, then another and so on), and feed it to the JMF player. The user will watch the movie, but will not have the whole movie available, just a part of it. As he watches it, the application takes the next chunck of movie data and feeds it to the JMF player. That was the question i intended to ask, if anyone has any idea regarding the second option, and not the part with retrieving from the database, but the part with giving the JMF player video data to play.
    The example i found on the web with JMF player is the following:
    import javax.swing.*;*
    *import javax.media.*;
    import java.awt.*;*
    *import java.awt.event.*;

              player.start();
         public static void main(String args[]) {
              PlayVideo pv = new PlayVideo();
    }but this example plays a video stored on the disk ( player = Manager.createPlayer(url); ), rather than a chunck of data (the whole movie or parts of it) retrieved from the database.
    Sorry for the misunderstanding!
    Cheers!

  • HTML AIR apps.. use XHTML and Doctypes?

    I was just wondering, as I'm looking through the documentation on how to create an AIR application using HTML, and the example shows html without a doctype declaration or xhtml syntax.
    I'm just curious if xhtml and doctype should be used or if it even makes a difference.
    I'm assuming that either way, once I get the layout to look the way I want it to, that visually after it's compiled it won't change since the runtime is the same on all operating systems?

    Updated my os
    Brand new Mac ... what exactly needed updating?
    Which OS X is installed?

  • Would like to use HTML in 6.0

    Hi, Again (already)?
    Kind of a corollary to my previous question (how to access
    old RoboHelp projects): Apparently, Word is the default editor for
    this package, but I've been using HTML, and would like to continue
    to do so ... is this a problem?
    Thanks again,
    Lon

    Hi Lon
    In case Lori's suggestion wasn't what you were looking for,
    you may also be seeing a feature of RoboHelp HTML. This feature
    allows selection of alternate HTML editors if you so choose. Well,
    actually it's the default.
    What RoboHelp HTML does is looks at the meta tag inside the
    HTML code to see which editor created the file. In your case, it
    may be sensing Word and instead of opening the HTML topic in the
    RoboHelp HTML WYSIWYG editor, it opens Word.
    If I've understood this correctly, here is the fix. Within
    RoboHelp HTML, click Tools > Options... > HTML Editors tab.
    Ensure RoboHelp WYSIWYG is the default editor. It should be as
    that's the default. Now look near the bottom of the dialog. You
    should see two options. One labeled "Auto-select Editor" and
    another labeled "Use Default Editor". My guess is that Auto-select
    is configured as it's normally the default. So choose "Use Default
    Editor", click OK and you should be set. Unless, of course, I've
    misunderstood the situation.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Creating a help interface using HTML/XML for text data.

    Hi,
    I'm currently building an application which has need of a help feature. I plan to have this either in an individual/internal frame or in a seperate browser window. My question is this:
    1. Can I open a browser window without losing my OS independence?
    2. Is there a swing component that displays a HTML file from the source file, or is my only option to get an XML file, run it through SAX and display it that way?
    Note: I'm already using an XML parser as part of this project, so using it for a help file would be no big problem. I'm just trying to find a (quick) workaround. Not that I like cutting corners.
    Any comments on this are welcome, no matter how small.
    Thanks for your time.

    In answer to 1. -> No you can't open a browser window without using the underlying OS mechanism...you could however encapsulate the OS mechanisms in a separate class/package so that your core app doesn't have to know...
    In answer to 2. -> Danger Will Robinson!!! Yes you can use the JEditorPane, but to be fair, it's c**p, and when you release the system your Users will whine endlessly about why they can't open their help files in their usual browser (this is especially true if they are coded in HTML). I know this because I wrote a help application using HTML and had Users and the marketing department complain at me endlessly. Also, the HTMLEditorKit in Swing seems to have a number of strange handling of img paths, at least in 1.3 it did...this caused me all sorts of problems...
    The usual way to get around this kind of thing is to open up a file browser, get the User to pick their favourite browser application (usually the .exe on Windows or the script on Unix) and then remember it, when it comes to opening the help file just use Runtime.getRuntime ().exec ("userBrowserLocation pathToHelpFile"). Of course this has the trouble that you can't package the help file in a jar or zip, but in general Users want to have control over HTML files...and Users usually have a fanatical desire to use their favourite browser to view them in...
    Just a thought...

  • Cast in DMM integrated to IPTV----need some tips to improve the channel streams through 4400 DMP. Now the channel streams look little pixelated. Video not sharp...

    Hi,
    Some one kindly suggest a solution for the below issue.
    In one of my customer places we are using the Cast module in DMM 5.2.2 to integrate with the IPTV.
    So the IPTV channel streams when it comes to the LCD its not sharp.
    The feeds are a bit pixelated and also the scrolling news texts from the IPTV channels looks a little weird.
    When we browse the channels using the remote from the Menu the streams coming on the small window on the LCD screen is good but when we put the video to full-screen this pixelation happens.
    The streams are decoded using 4400 DMP and using HDMI connection.
    The receiver used is D9854 and the DCM used is D9900.
    I tried by changing the DMP display parameters but this was not resolved.
    We checked the DCM parameters and verified. The DCM parameters are correct and  when we stream the channels using VLC on our laptop the stream is good.
    So I kindly request to suggest some of the rectification techniques and as such we can resolve this

    JD - I appreciate the feedback - as an update, the customer is still adamant that the DMP is to be used only for digital signs and that now he expects Cast to run on all his PCs (I'm thinking Show and Share is the solution for this).  I try to only "know what I know" and not assume certain things - but this language seems pretty clear:
    "Features of Cisco Cast help your organization to deliver video-on-demand and live broadcast TV channels over IP networks to presentation systems that you connect to DMPs."
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_2/dmm/user/guide/cast/welcome.html
    To me that implies that cast delivery is done explicitly through DMPs but doesn't come out and *say specifically* such - but the way I remember doing it - you just publish your Cast setup to the DMP - there is no "cast server" that you can browse to per se and manipulate the guide, etc in that manner.  I'm always open to the idea that there's something I don't know - the IT business has humbled me many times - but this seems awfully straight forward to me.
    I'm stuck with the 2200's for cast - I have to try and make them work.  I assume the procedure is to link a stream to a multicast group address, then configure that as a channel target within Cast?  Never done it for real before - need to know by tomorrow ~noon.  Is there any reason why the 2200s would simply NOT work?
    Have you had success with remote control emulation?  I don't even know if the customer has UCM, but I have been informed that Cast is controllable by a mouse or keyboard (another assertion I'm 99.999% is incorrect) so I need to quit worrying about a remote.
    If I sound terrified, it's because I am.  Thanks for all the help.  I'm not confused yet because so far I've been right about everything I think I know, but when expectations don't line up with reality, that's when things get uncomfortable.
